HAPPY 10th ANNIVERSARY, SCOTT!

I love you more today than ever and thank God for bringing us together.

We sure got us a good thing going on! :-)

Happy First Day of School!

.....from your favorite little FIRST GRADER!!

YEA EMERSON!

Fun with One

Since Emerson got some good Nana and PaPa time earlier this summer, it was only fair that Kirby got to spend some time at the Little Boots Farm as well. She's having a ball being on her own with Nana and PaPa and we've enjoyed our time alone with Emerson!

Of course, Emerson reminded me of EVERYTHING that Kirby got to do with us...and she wanted to do most of the same stuff. It's only fair, right?! (Isn't it a bit early for me to already be tired of explaining that life isn't always fair....???) Anyway....

After we had lunched with Nana and Kirby and said goodbye, Emerson and I stopped and did a little Back-to-School clothes shopping for her. She picked out some cute stuff at the Children's Place. After a snack, we decided to clean out her closet and drawers and get all her new stuff hung up and organized. She's going to be able to wear alot of her clothes from last Fall....but some how, I've amassed a bunch of new stuff for her as well....OOPS! :-)

That evening we had her meet-the-teacher (forgot the camera!)

The next day we went and had our nails done. I didn't take her to my regular place...but to a salon that has a fun kids pedicure chair with a DVD player! She picked out purple for her toes and a blue/green for her nails...with daisys painted on her big toes and thumb nails!

We then headed in to town to pick Scott up for a trip to the Children's Museum. It's much different being at the museum with Emerson. Kirby was all over the place...with Emerson, we were able to explain things in depth and she was intrested in many of the scientific concepts.

Our budding scientist...

She LOVED the rock-climbing wall and did it several times. She was really good at it!

After the museum, we headed to El Tiempo on Montrose for a great Mexican dinner. While we were there, a big storm hit and it got really dark, the lights flickered and the winds howled and the rain poured. It was actually pretty fun, though Emerson was a bit freaked out. Nothing an order of Sopapillas couldn't cure though!!

Saturday was spent running errands, eating out at lunch, and having a friend over for a playdate.

On Sunday, I woke up with a migraine so we took our time in the morning and then went out to lunch (Emerson's pick - Fuddrucker's) and bowling. I don't know why we don't bowl more often...it's such a good time! Emerson has the funniest "wind-up"...something not necessarily a part of the correct bowling form...and she even got a strike!

Sunday evening we had a round of bean bag toss outside while Scott grilled steaks, got everything ready for school and gave our big girl alot of LOVE! It certainly was special time to have with her these past couple of days.

....but I'm ready to have both my little ducks home!!
